• Boo Bear Goes to the Bummer Bear Hospital

  Posted on February 19 2015

  

  Deb from MN shared her Bummer Bear story with us:

  Bummer Bear came into my life 4 years ago, 6 weeks before my daughter’s wedding.  She gave him to me after open heart surgery. One day I couldn’t find him; searching even at midnight­—I sleep with him for goodness sake!  My daughter sent him to the Bummer Bear Hospital to be updated with another heart surgery, knee and hip replacement and ankle fusion.   “Boo Bear” is glad he's home...and so am I!

  Jacob's family shared their Bummer Bear story:

  Thanks for such a cuddly welcome to the Zipper Club. I got it from my best buddy after my first open heart surgery. It's nice to have a friend who knows what it's like to have a zipper! I can't wait till I'm strong enough to snuggle.

• Bella and her Mended Heart Bear

  My name is Bella and I am three years old. I was born with a Congenital Heart Defect called Truncus Arteriosus. I had my first surgery at one month old. I am waiting on my second coming up. I will be taking my bear with me. Maybe I won't be sooo scared. He has a broken heart like me.
